How to Spot a Bad Janitorial Service Company Before It's Too Late

For
any business or organization a janitorial service company is a
necessary expense, however if you don’t find the right janitorial
service for your needs then choosing the wrong company may come at a
much higher cost than you first anticipated. Therefore, it is best to
foresee this and look out for some common signs of a bad janitorial
service company, as this could save you a lot of unnecessary hassle
and costs.

One
of the first things to look out for when trying to spot a bad
janitorial service company is their reputation. This may require a
bit of research of your part, but it is well worth the cost and
hassle of finding out the hard way. You may be able to ask around
people and companies you know who have previous experiences with the
companies and services that you are looking at using. Even a quick
Google search may come up with some interesting feedback and reviews
about the company; also reviews about services that you will not
require are still relevant in order to assess if the company is
reliable and trustworthy such as this one here.

If
you are unable to find any reviews online, and you don’t know of
anyone who has had previous dealings with the janitorial company,
then don’t hesitate to ask the janitorial company to supply some
references. Firstly, if they are unable to provide you with
references then that is a clear sign that they should be avoided.
You may also want to check how long they have been operating for and
how much industry knowledge and experience they have, and if they
have many long standing customers. If the company has been operating
for some time and doesn’t have long-term customers they are
currently servicing, then this may be a sign that they have offered
bad services in the past.

Another
way to spot a bad janitorial service is to find out what kind of
support services they would offer you. A good company will offer you
around the clock support, including direct phone access in order to
meet any extra requirements you may have out of office hours.
Ideally, the company should have the ability to send their services
to you as soon as you need them and in a timely manner. If a
janitorial service does not offer this kind of support, then you may
be putting your health and safety practices at risk. A company that
is only able to send a task force for pre-arranged services within
the cleaning schedule, and not when you need them in the case of
emergencies, is a cleaning service to steer clear of.

It
often isn’t too hard to spot a bad janitorial company, but these
simple tips should ensure that you are able to spot them straight
away and save yourself and your business from a bad experience with
such a company. Staying mindful of these ways in which to spot a bad
janitorial service company will definitely help you and your business
before it’s too late.
